I am new to NT. I use Interactive Brokers.

I was talking to IB about setting up a foreign account so I could trade off hours from the US markets.

Does NT support the functions that you would have to do from the IB platform to trade foreign stocks, etfs or futures?

Unfortunately, I am not sure what functions you are referring to.

If you are able to receive data and trade a specific instrument in TWS, you will be able to receive data and trade it in NinjaTrader as well.

According to IB, and I am going to practice tonight, you have to configure the TWS platform to do a currency exchange thru forex before you do the trade. You do not trade in US dollars but the market currency.

Does anyone do foreign market trading with NT?
